Let the Challenge Begin!!

Day #1
The day has finally come for me to start this "heart-a-day" challenge!  The name implies that each day I will take time to make one heart, but that's not how it's going to be; I need to let my creativity be my guide, which means that some days I will make one, or two, or five...and other days I will make none.  Posting will be unpredictable too, based on what I have made, but I promise to post something at least once a week, so if you check in here that often, you won't miss anything!

Heart #1
Wool felt, cotton embroidery thread, fiberfil, safety pin.

I took the idea for this heart from this Valentine's Day post at The Purl Bee.  I decided to try the safety pin on the back because the regular jewelry-type pin backs stick out so much that this little heart would always look askew when being worn. 

I must say that it was much more difficult to make than it looks; cutting two hearts exactly the same size with the pinked edges lining up perfectly was not easy!  And I am a perfectionist, so the edges had to line up.

I like the simplicity of just the red felt and green stitching; I wore this a lot during December.  You may see this again in different color combinations in the coming months!
